With the BPMs being cranked out in Detroit with MEMF, we did the same on Cowboys & Indies tonight. It wasn't all electronic all night but there was electronic and electronic influenced acts featured for most of the show. Minus Parlour Flames in the LP Session and a few others. New music from Visage, Is Tropical, plus Little Boots, AlunaGeorge, Charli XCX and Pet Shop Boys. PSB announced their stop in Windsor at The Casino in September. This is going to be one hot ticket!

Argh! I sees spots! Thousands of spots! BRMC sure do love strobe lights. Like a million little flash bulbs going off over and over. Not as much smoke as I thought there would be though. Great show last night at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit. They opened with a cover of The Call's Let The Day Begin. Touched on all the hits. Always a fave to see live.

Tonight we featured Primal Scream's album of the year contender in the LP Session. Also tonight new music from Noah & The Whale, Editors, Little Boots, Pigeon Detectives and another Damon Albarn production. Finally made time to get Parlour Flames on. One of my new faves, with my fave on repeat being the new Childhood single Solemn Skies. The Family Bizarre, Little Boots and East India Youth had my rump shaking in the studio tonight! So much great music and so little time to feature it all for you weekly. If you want to hear anything, want an album featured, etc message me or comment and I will try my best to get it on for you.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the amazing mother's out there! Without you we are all nothing. Spread your love mom's, this crazy world needs you more than ever.

The wait is over! That means 3 different things here at Cowboys & Indies. Firstly, I'm an Uncle again (well sort of..lol) as Scott & Claire welcome their little man this past week. Mother and baby are home and doing fine. Congrats! Secondly, he arrives just as they move house. How's that for a busy weekend!
So we open the show with a couple tribute tracks to Scott's gloriously busy week.
Thirdly, The Savages debut album is here and in the LP Session. And it's well worth the wait. And so is the show. Hope you enjoy it!

About Me

For over 20 years, Cowboys & Indies has been the home of the British Indie and Alternative scene for the Windsor/Detroit area. Hosts Marc & Scott, veterans of local record stores, decided that it was time to bring the British Indie/Alternative sound to the masses. Each week we strive to play the very best in the British Alternative and Independent music scene. Most of our featured music is comprised of imports and domestic items as well as music from our own collections and currents from the on-air studio. Each week we preview new releases and an upcoming album in The LP Session. We also take listener requests.
